Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for Mission District Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business on a fractional schedule. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO sits above the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
Above the Silos

No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD

Before & After

Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Siloed

- Good leads slip between teams
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- No one owns the revenue number
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
